A Palestinian detainee in Israeli jails, Ahmad Zahran, has been on hunger strike for 112 days in a row, protesting his administrative detention without charge or trial, amid very critical health conditions.
An Israeli occupation court dismissed, on Tuesday, an appeal submitted by Zahran, where it asked him to end his strike before having his appeal met, citing the need to subject him to interrogation under his current health status.
Detainee Zahran suffers deteriorated health conditions, including a drop in his heartbeats, pains throughout his entire body, salt deficiency, and loss of over 30kg of his weight, said the Commission of Detainees’ Affairs.
The committee indicated that Israeli occupation authorities have detained Zahran since March of 2019, without any charge and put him under administrative detention, adding that he was not subjected for interrogation since then.
Al Ray further notes that Zahran, 42, a resident of Deir Abu Mash’al village to the northwest of Ramallah, has spent about 15 years in Israeli occupation jails.
Zahran began his open-ended hunger strike after Israeli authorities did not fulfill a promise to end his administrative detention in the last strike, which went on for 38 days and ended in July 2019.
According to Palestinian figures, about 5,700 Palestinians, including 48 women and 250 children, are currently languishing in Israeli detention jails.
Among them, close to 500 Palestinians are currently being held under Israel’s illegal policy of administrative detention, under which prisoners can be held for renewable six-month periods without charge or trial.

Israeli forces, for the second timeo, have ordered the punitive demolition of the family house of Ahmad Jamal Qunbu, a Palestinian in Israeli detention, who comes from the occupied West Bank city of Jenin, according to local sources.
Qunbu’s father told WAFA that Israeli authorities handed him a notice informing him of their intention to demolish the house, which was reconstructed after it was demolished for the first time in April 2018, citing his son’s alleged role in the killing of an Israeli settler, earlier that year.
He added that the house, slated for demolition next Tuesday, is not solely owned by him but also by his disabled brother, and is inhabited by seven people.
Israeli authorities accused Qunbu of assisting the deceased Ahmad Nasr Jarrar in the killing of the Israeli settler outside the illegal Havat Gilad settlement, to the west of Nablus in the West Bank, in January 2018.
As a result, three houses belonging to Jarrar’s family and relatives were demolished.
Israel resorts to the punitive demolition of family homes belonging to any Palestinians – as means of deterrence – accused of being involved in attacks against Israelis, a policy that it does not use against Israeli settlers who are involved in fatal attacks against Palestinians.
B’Tselem, an Israeli human rights group, says: “The people who bear the brunt of the [punitive] demolitions are relatives – including women, the elderly, and children – whom Israel does not suspect of involvement in any offense.”
“In the vast majority of cases, the person whose actions prompted the demolition was not even living in the house at the time of the demolition,” adds the group.
“The official objective of the house demolition policy is deterrence … yet the deterrent effect of house demolitions has never been proven.”

The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Saturday evening kidnaped a Palestinian young man near the Ibrahimi Mosque in the Old City of al-Khalil, with no reason.
According to local sources, the IOF brutalized 18-year-old Sharif Abu Hadeed at a military checkpoint near the Mosque and then rounded him up.
Checkpoints are one of the main tools that Israel employs to enforce its regime of occupation over the Palestinian population in the occupied territories.
Israel restricts the movement of Palestinians within the occupied territories on a daily basis.
Palestinians’ freedom of movement in the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem lies completely at the mercy of the occupation state’s whims, making them live in constant uncertainty — not knowing whether he or she is going to make it to work, keep a medical appointment, visit a family, go to a Mosque for prayers, buy something from a store, etc.
They might be delayed at a checkpoint for hours, or detained and humiliated by soldiers.

Kamel Attowneh, Mahmoud’s father, said that the IOF photographed and mapped his house and gave him only four days to evacuate it.
His son has been accused of stabbing a Jewish settler in the illegal settlement bloc of Gush Etzion last August.
The IOF had demolished homes of four prisoners in Beit Kahil town about one month ago for the same reason.
As for prisoners Hanatsheh and Maghames, they have been charged with involvement in the deadly bombing attack in Ein Bubin, a spring in the wooded hills near the illegal West Bank settlement of Dolev.

The Palestinian Prisoners’ Society (PPS) issued a statement, Saturday, strongly denouncing Israel’s escalating violations against the detained Palestinian children, especially after forcing them in solitary confinement.
The PPS said that the Israeli Prison Authority transferred imprisoned Palestinian children from Ofar Prison and placed them in solitary condiment cells.
It added that the Prison Authority has placed every two Palestinian children in one small cell in Ofar, and that the same policy will be used against all detained children in Majeddo and the Damoun prison.
The PPS stated that Israel is holding captive at least 200 Palestinian children who continue to face violations, including being denied legal representation, especially when the Israeli Prison Authority decides to transfer them to and from several prisons without prior notice.
It is worth mentioning that the Palestinian political prisoners in Ofar Israeli prison have been subject to seriously escalating violations over the last few months and have been denied basic rights.
This includes repeated invasions and violent searches of the detainees and their rooms, in addition to barring certain types of food.
The PPS said that Israel is gradually implementing the recommendations of the special committee that was formed by Internal Security Minister, Gilad Erdan, in June 2018, which includes Knesset members and the intelligence agency.
The purpose of the committee was to assess the conditions of detention of Palestinian prisoners at Occupation prisons and identify means of reducing such conditions to the minimum stage.
The committee reviewed the conditions of Palestinian prisoners and paid visits to prisons. Then the committee recommended imposing more restrictions on prisoners at Occupation prisons.
Hence, the Occupation authorities started systematic attacks on prisoners, which were justified by the recommendations of the committee.
The PPS added that Israel constantly tries to strip the detainees of basic rights they achieved through the repeated and extended hunger strike, and implements its punitive measures against the detainees, depriving them of fundamental rights guaranteed by International Law.

Israel resorts to punitively demolishing the family homes of Palestinians as a way to intimidate, and deter others from attempting to injure Israelis in the future.
Interesting to note that Israel does not apply the same policy to Israeli settlers involved in fatal attacks against Palestinians.
Article 33 of the 4th Geneva Convention states that collective punishment is a war crime.

There are roughly 20,000 native Syrian nationals in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights that do not recognize Israel’s sovereignty over the occupied territory.
